Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Labor crisis in Japan leads the country to a record of 2.57 million foreign workers, but 85% still pay agencies to find jobs and face fees of up to 6,000 euros.

U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier disappears from the map and diverts to Africa after the crash of the Triton drone, a sign that even an armed giant does not feel safe near Hormuz now.

The most volcanic moon in the Solar System shoots jets of lava over 400 km high, has more than 400 active volcanoes, and supplies Jupiter with a plasma ring that reaches temperatures of up to 100,000°C while redefining the boundaries of geological activity beyond Earth.

Oil returns to the center of global strategy with Repsol’s resurgence in Venezuela.

The backhoe digs a large pool at 6 meters and opens a giant water fountain: sand rises from the bottom, drains with pipes and gravel hold, and the flow reaches 110 thousand liters per hour, nonstop.
